"Over the past several days, the men and women of the Union County Sheriff’s Office have fully dedicated themselves to this case and ensuring the people responsible for this tragic loss were brought to justice."

Joshua Newton, 25, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and obstruction of justice. Victoria Smith, 22, also faces an obstruction charge and accessory after the fact, the sheriff's office said. 

The person who reported Williamson missing told authorities she met a man named Joshua Newton on Facebook and agreed to take a trip with him to Carowinds, Fox Carolina reported. Newton picked her up from a Waffle House on June 30, the person said.
